Harris retells the careers of pirates who were caught and tried in eighteenth-century England, drawing on court records and the testimony of witnesses and prisoners. He strips away legend to show how these men were taken, what was said at their trials, and how they ended at Execution Dock.

A lively, documented antidote to pirate romance. Download the free EPUB.
